What is the purpose of administering ibuprofen to individuals being treated for frostbite?
- answer Inhibiting prostaglandins
Which statement is incorrect regarding gallbladder function? - answer Within thirty
minutes of eating, the gallbladder forces bile
What is the cause of functional dysphagia? – answer Neural or muscular disorders
Which clinical manifestations of a urinary tract infection may be demonstrated in an
eighty-five-year-old individual? - answer Confusion and poorly localized abdominal
discomfort
Exposure to what protects the mucosal barrier of the stomach? – answer
Prostaglandins
After puberty, the epiphyseal plate calcifies and the epiphysis merges with the: -
answerMetaphysis
Hepatic fat accumulation is observed in which form of cirrhosis? – answer Alcoholic
Which glycoprotein protects against urolithiasis and is a ligand for lymphokines? -
answerUromodulin
Which component of the cell produces hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) by using oxygen to
remove hydrogen atoms from specific substrates in an oxidative reaction? -
answerPeroxisomes
What is a consequence of plasma membrane damage to the mitochondria? -
answerInflux of calcium ions halts adenosine triphosphate (ATP) production
Which statement is a description of one of the characteristics of apoptosis? -
answerApoptosis involves programmed cell death of scattered single cells
During cell injury caused by hypoxia, sodium and water move into the cell because: -
answerThe pump that transports sodium out of the cell cannot function because of a
decrease in adenosine triphosphate (ATP) levels
What is an effect of ionizing radiation exposure? - answerDeoxyribonucleic acid (DNA)
aberrations
, Obesity creates a greater risk for dehydration in people because: - answerAdipose cells
contain little water because fat is water repelling
In addition to osmosis, what force is involved in the movement of water between the
plasma and interstitial fluid spaces? - answerHydrostatic pressure
Venous obstruction is a cause of edema because of an increase in which pressure? -
answerCapillary hydrostatic
At the arterial end of capillaries, fluid moves from the intravascular space into the
interstitial space because: - answerThe capillary hydrostatic pressure is higher than the
capillary oncotic pressure
It is true that natriuretic peptides: - answerDecrease blood pressure and increase
sodium and water excretion
What causes the clinical manifestations of confusion, convulsions, cerebral
hemorrhage, and coma in hypernatremia? - answerHigh sodium in the blood vessels
pulls water out of the brain cells into the blood vessels, causing brain cells to shrink
A major determinant of the resting membrane potential necessary for the transmission
of nerve impulses is the ratio between: - answerIntracellular and extracellular K
In hyperkalemia, what change occurs to the cells' resting membrane potential? -
answerDepolarization
Physiologic pH is maintained at approximately 7.4 because bicarbonate (HCO3) and
carbonic acid (H2CO3) exist in a ratio of: - answer20:1
Increased capillary hydrostatic pressure results in edema because of: - answerSodium
and water retention
Hypomethylation and the resulting effect on oncogenes result in: - answerAn increase in
tumor progression from benign to malignant
The functions of the major histocompatibility complex (MHC) and CD1 molecules are
alike because both: - answerAre antigen-presenting molecules
The B-cell receptor (BCR) complex functions uniquely by: - answerCommunicating
information about the antigen to the cell nucleus
The generation of clonal diversity includes a process that: - answerTakes place in the
primary (central) lymphoid organs
Vaccinations are able to provide protection against certain microorganisms because of
the: - answerLevel of protection provided by immunoglobulin G (IgG)
